Game Thread: Illinois at Minnesota

[Fly Illini Fly!]

AWFUL call.

 

[dainjazoner]

boswell should be relegated to the bench if he shoots anything other then a layup, especially on the fastbreak

 

[logjam]

Tre White must be in dog house

Or sick...

 

[TheodoreRex]

every time he takes those dumb shots, Brad needs to immediately sub for him

 

[SuperMetroid]

Tomi has his shot today

He’s pretty much the only guy on the team I want shooting a three right now. Maybe Will if he’s on a heater

 

[biglug58]

7 foot center our best 3 pt shooter

 

[Oldskoolkoach]

Love Will but man does that kid avoid contact too much and often make it far harder to make the shot than he needs to.

Just go at the hoop

He has to quit double pumping. He's 6'8" jackhammer that ball

 

[RIP_Chief_2003]

I say this every game. He is so soft. He could really be a stud once he learns to enjoy contact…

 

[illiram]

I love that the refs are letting them play. No ridiculous whistles yet. It has become hard to watch some of these with subpar officiating.

 

[Keisersose]

Tomi is one tough player!

 

[NashvILLe05]

1 TO so far. Keep it up!! Love the flow and looks.

 

[RowdyFromRow22]

Need to file a missing persons report for Tre White?

 

[statefarm]

If we pull this one out do we give MVP to Fletch?

 

[WyattEarp]

Tomi-gun!!

 

[SkyysNotFalling]

Man.. Will has scored again lately obviously but he is everywhere on the court too. Good defense, attacking the glass for rebounds, finding open guys. It’s amazing how good he is now that he has his confidence back he’s affecting the entire game and scoring when he has an advantage. What a stud, he’s going to be a first round pick

 

[The Galloping Ghost]

Or sick...

 

[hoopsfan47]

what? ONE turnover in 12 and a half min. for Illini. Must be so weakened by the flu that they are unable to throw it into the 6th row. Seriously, great job and much needed.

 

[blife]

Refs are letting them play. Gotta bang for all 40 minutes.

 

[azillini1]

We are out-rebounding them 15 to 7 and only have one TO. Should be up more than 5

Only 4 threes taken by us in nearly 15 minutes. Guess stubborn Brad changed his philosophy... at least for this game

 

[logjam]

Riley really breaking out!

KJ "shooting less than 20% the last 7 games from 3 point range." What the heck is wrong?

IMO he is still hurting...why would he be 4-8 last game on fts he like 86%...

 

[champaignpak]

team is playing smart so far today, cant complain

 

[2qtslow]

Take the over.

 

[DeeIL89]

Those last 2-3 plays in the paint we were making that Mitchell kid look like he was Edey. Wasted points there.

 

[jamie13197]

I love Will and Kj, probably won't happen but they need to come back another year. Get stronger with body and handling the basketball. My 5 yr old grandson can take their lunch money and ball.

 

[New Creation]

Good defense
